Installing ipod model m8976LL on vista

i have a (3rd gen?) iPod (Model M8976LL) and cannot successfully install the software (iPod installation cd) onto windows vista. it may be a compatibility issue? is there any downloadable software or updated drivers that will allow me to use my older iPod with windows vista? (important: this is Model # M8976LL - NOT Model # M8976LL/A). thanks very much, chris

All you need is to install the latest version of iTunes, available from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
That model number does sound like a 3rd gen iPod. Important note: iPods before the 4th gen iPod (and iPod mini) were designed to work with FireWire, not USB. Although a 3rd gen iPod has a dock connector like later iPods and it may connect if fully charged, it will not charge while connected over USB. It will only charge over a FireWire connection.

  • Can I copy & install "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" in vista ultimate 64bit

    I am to do a clean install of vista ultimate 64bit. This is a move from my present vista Home Premium 32 bit.
    All my purchase for for the ipod touch have taken under vista 32bit and details are stored in App Data->Roaming->Apple Computer->iTunes->Mobile Applications->ipod touch App Pack 4A93.
    Now when I do a clean install of my latest OS vista ultimate 64bit I will have to wipe clean of the drive and it will erase my "ipod touch App Pack 4A93" aswell. I have saved that in a usb key to copy that back in the correct folder. Now my question is can I copy that back in VISTA 64bit and will it recognise my previous purchases for my ipod touch?
    Has anybody know it for sure?
    Thanking you in advance for your help and assistance.

    Hello.
    I am not sure if the Vista 64 bit will know the folder and App pack or not. But some of the other methods of backing up and getting Apps back you purchased are below. I am not sure about the UK but I know in the USA when you purchase an App you can download it again for free without having to buy it again.

  • Windows not installing iPod nano 3G

    When i plugged in my iPod nano 3G for the first time the "Found New Hardware Device' bubble came up and it recognized that it was an Apple iPod, but then it said that there was a problem with installing the new device and that it might not work properly. After this I cant see my ipod in My Computer or in iTunes. Under the hardware profile it shows an exclamation mark symbol next to the ipod. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but that doesn't work either. I just repeats the same process. I've tried updating the driver but it says it can't find an updated driver. The real strange thing is that I have an iPod Video 5G that has been working with this computer for 2 years now. So why wont the Nano?
    So after i got fed up with this, I plugged my ipod Nano into my laptop and it worked flawlessly. But all of my music is on my desktop which is why i need it to connect. Any help?

    This is the same problem I'm having & no other USB devices are hooked up to my laptop, can anybody HELP??????????
    Before I install iTunes Vista recognizes my iPod, it shows up in My Computer and I can use it as a storage device. In Device Manager it shows up under disk drives as an iPod and under USB controllers as a mass storage device. After I install iTunes it loads new drivers, or it tries to. It installs a new iPod USB driver & then it tries to install iPod drivers and never finds them. It tells me the device drivers were not found & I can't use the device until they are loaded. Now the iPod won't even show up in My Computer. When I check Device Manager there is an entry for the iPod with an exclamation mark beside it & under USB controllers it is now listed as an iPod USB device. When I uninstall iTunes it still won't recognize the device properly but if I do a system restore, back to before I loaded iTunes, and then plug the iPod back in it goes back to recognizing it in My Computer as an iPod storage device and under Device Manager it checks out OK. I think the problem is with the new device drivers iTunes installs. When installed iTunes will start up no problem, it's just when I plug in the iPod it loads the problem drivers & I have to do a system restore to get my iPod back again. Please help, I've had to do a system restore 5 times now & it still won't work. I can either have an iPod loaded or iTunes load, just not both at the same time. I'm very familiar with computers & software but this is driving me crazy
    BTW, my iPod is a new 3rd generation Nano

  • Can't install ipod to mac

    hi
    i have downloaded the iPod13.smi form here. I install it in the iPod software 1.3 updater. It told me to "plug in an i Pod to upate it" when i plug it the i pod show the do not disconnect, and the button "uptdate" and "restore" are both already selected.
    i have a mac OS9.2
    please help
    susanna
      Other OS  

    Version 1.3 of the iPod updater will only recognize first and second generation full-size iPods. If you are using a newer iPod, you can't update or restore it in Mac OS 9; third generation iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware will be recognized by Mac OS 9's iTunes. Third generation iPods running newer firmware versions and iPod shuffles will be seen by the Mac OS 9 Finder but not iTunes. Other iPod models will not be recognized by Mac OS 9, but will charge when plugged into a Mac OS 9 machine.

  • How can I access my Ipod Model

    I have an Ipod, Model #1136, EMC 2065, 30 GB.  It has been used in the past and still has music on it.  I would like to know what music is on it and likely delete that and put new playlists on it but when I connect it to my laptop (windows 8) it shows stuff that I have no clue what its talking about and it won't let me listen to anything.  My laptop has Windows Media Player on it and it won't play any of the music because of an error that keeps coming up about the Ipod not being compatible.  It also won't let me eject the Ipod from my laptop.  It keeps saying that there is a file still open when there is nothing open at all.  From the cc date on the back being 2007, I would assume that this is ok on Windows 7.  I would like to use this little Ipod but I need help to know what I'm supposed to do to access it in the first place.  Thanks in advance for any help.

    SGMS Knight,
    Based on the model number that you provided, your device is an iPod Touch 2nd generation.
    According to the following Wikipedia page, the highest supported operating system for the iPod Touch 2nd generation is iOS 4.2.1.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_iOS_devices#iPod_Touch
    Adobe Reader for iOS version 11.0.1 is compatible with iOS 5.  However, the App Store does not have the earlier version of Adobe Reader that is compatible with iOS 4.
    As a user, you can download and install Adobe Reader for iOS only from the App Store.
    You may be able to find other free PDF viewers that are compatible with iOS 4 in the App Store.
    Good luck.

  • Itunes recognizing wrong ipod model

    I had installed the new Itunes and brougth my Ipod up to date. Everything seemed to sync perfectly the first time i connected the Ipod to Itunes. after it was done updating I disconnected the device and realized, that it had updated everything except for the Music videos.
    In trying to solve this problem I reconnected the Ipod to Itunes, but it would not recognize my Ipod model as it did befor it did not display the serial number nor my Ipod Name nothing. A white Ipod was displayed and the only options you could toggle with were Music, podcasts contacts and so on, I couldnt do anything conerning Videos of ally types.
    I have tried reinstalling Itunes,I have restored my Ipod and its always the same thing. My Ipod is recognized the first time, but does not update music vieos, and when I try to sync it a second time it recognizes my Ipod as a older version.
    please help me i am going on a back packing trip soon and I wont survive without my Ipod
    A1136   Windows XP   it is a black fith generation Ipod = 60 GB

    ok im getting so frustrated, everything was perfect until i installed the new firmware and Itunes. is there a way to go back to my old firmware i have already tried it with the installation CD of my Ipod and apparently i cant reset to an older version of the Ipod Firmware.
    I had one Idea, tell me what you guys think.
    What if I install Itunes on an external Hardrive witch also contains all my music, videos, artwork excetera. and then sync my Ipod with that.
    let me know what u think

  • How do i reset pass code to unlock volume limit on ipod model mc525ll

    I forget my passcode for my ipod 6th gen. model MC525LL.  i want to adjust the volume and can't without the passcode.  How do I reset it?  Thanks.

    Hi blondop,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you can restore the iPod nano and then set it up again. The articles below provide more details about the maximum volume limit and restoring the iPod.

    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.

  • The attached iPod model is not supported by this application

    I just bought a 20G color iPod. I spoke w/ the Apple tech support & I needed service pack 2. I downloaded it. I didn't have a USB 2.0 port then I installed one. I downloaded the latest Apple updater software 2005-06-26 then I tried the even later version 2005-09-06. When I go into updater, it says it is "initializing" and then says "the attached iPod model is not supported by this application." Reformat and restore are both grayed out. iPod doesn't show up in iTunes and doesn't transfer my library. I just got back from the Apple Store and the suppossed "genius" said the iPod is fine and it is my computer. WHAT is wrong with my computer?

    Brad,
    you ought a little bit more descriptive! What Version of iTunes are you using? Check the software version of your iPod (if it even has one yet) under Settings-About. Your iTunes and iPod software have to be compatible. If you're running 4.9 you need 2005-06-26. Close iTunes and leave it alone. Deinstall all iPod related software, clean the registry if you want (I don't think this is so much necessary for the iPod software). Then install 2005-06-26 again on your computer first!! Don't connect the iPod. After having installed it, open the Updater, then connect. Before you do that and since you don't have any music on the iPod reset it to factory settings under Settings-Reset all settings. Or at least reset it with pushing Menue and the center knob at once. Many possibilities I know, but either one will work...after that it will remain seen by iTunes and you're a lucky guy (hopefully).
    Best regards
    Roman

  • Sales breakdown of different ipod models?

    hey guys,
    does anyone know where i could find info about the sales breakdown of different ipod models in the UK?

    Thank you for your reply.
    The ipod shuffle user's manual on page 4 says that "to use ipod shuffle with a windows pc you must have: itunes 5.0 or later (itunes 6.0.5 or later is recommended)".
    Her disk comes with an itunes version (or so it says, I haven't got that far as to download it yet). I wondered if it would affect my songs. Thank you for letting me know that it won't.
    I'm thinking that maybe installing her software on my computer is not such a good idea since it doesn't have the ability to manually monitor what will be loaded on it. Will all my songs automatically download to hers? (Sorry if I seem dense, but I only know how to run mine & I have mine set to manual control.)
    I think we should just install this on her Dad's computer.
    Since like I said before I don't know anything about the ipod shuffle.......will her songs all get automatically downloaded or deleted according to what she has in her library on what ever computer we actually install it to? (I hope you understood that, since I'm not sure what to actually ask yet)
    As far as the email support........yes I actually did think that after spending over $300 for my ipod and whatever they spent on hers that somewhere on the Apple website that there would be a way to actually ask the company a question and get a simple answer in return. But getting an answer from you knowledgable forum members is probably better than the runaround I would get from Apple anyway. Thanks!!

  • "The attached ipod model is not supported by this applicatio

    HELP! I installed my ipod nano and it all worked fine, got a few songs on it. So i downloaded some more, ripped a CD i had and did nothing particularly life changing. Going back into i-tunes it all went a bit funny and came up with a message saying "Cannot read ipod please reset to factory settings" So i went into ipod updater (the version that was on the CD that came WITH the ipod) and was told "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" so i went onto the apple website and downloaded the latest version of the ipod program, tried again and the same message appeared: "The attached ipod model is not supported by this application" any ideas?!?!?!

    Well let's assume you already have Ituenes 5.01 than if you can see the Nano as a mounted drive in My Computer I would recommend reformatting the Nano with FAT32 from there. Than try running Ipod updater again. Sorry I can't think of anything else right now, try searching around or see if someone comes to you on of your many forms. That's another reason not to double post those that are trying to help you don't know what else has already been suggested.

  • Error to install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista. Error 1935.

    I have a big problem, I need install Xcelsius 2008 on Windows vista, but when I install the software apper the nex message:
    Error 1935 Error al instalar el ensamblado.

    From a brief Google search, I determined this error message is from Vista. It is not being produced by Xcelsius. You will need to do your own search and determine what is causing Vista to report this error.

  • Forms 10g installed and running on Windows Vista

    <font color=0000FF>Update 12-Dec-2008: </font>Oracle has published NOTE 559067.1 -- How to Install Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 - hence 10.1.2.3 - on Windows Vista, 24-OCT-2008 with some installation help.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 07-July-2008: </font> Added text at the bottom showing how to find patchsets for Forms 10g.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 29-May-2008: </font> This thread was started in November, 2007.  In January, 2008, Oracle released Patch 3 for Forms 10g, which makes Forms 10g compatible with Windows Vista.  As time permits I'll try to keep the information in this post up to date.   Updated information will be inserted <font color=0000FF>as blue text.
    </font>
    <font color=0000FF>Original message begins here:</font>
    This is a second thread I am posting to outline the steps I have used to install Forms on a Windows Vista Home Basic laptop.   The other thread describes installing Forms 6i:
          Forms 6i installed and running on Windows Vista
    Please read through the initial part of that post for the background.  I realize Oracle has not certified Forms 10g to run on Vista, but the time has come for my associates and I to upgrade our old computers to new desktop/laptop platforms, and I would hate to acquire XP machines and be stuck with them for the next 5 years.  <font color=0000FF>(Note: Since first posting this message, Oracle has certified Forms 10g Patch 3 (version 10.1.2.3.0) to run on Vista)</font>  So after another person informed me that he had Forms installed and running on Vista, I went ahead and bought one.  I found that as long as I set the compatibility mode to run Forms programs as Windows XP (and a few other changes), Forms 6i and 10g run quite satisfactorily.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 29-Jan-2008: </font> Unfortunately, it turns out that the Forms 10g Builder running on Vista <font color=0000FF>had</font> a major flaw:   If you try to develop a form, the Builder will crash if you try to compile a procedure that calls another procedure in the form that has errors.  The problem is reported and described in this thread:  Error compiling a form under Vista
    <font color=0000FF>Update 12-Mar-2008: </font> Installing Patch 3 on Vista does not help with this problem -- the Builder still crashes in the same situation.
    <font color=0000FF>Update 25-July-2008: </font> Applying Patch 7047034 has corrected the problem.   See this link within this thread:   Forms 10g: Installing Patch 7047034 on Windows Vista
    Webutil note:  I am stuck in a Forms 6i client/server world, so all my forms must run in that environment.   Therefore I have not used any Webutil software, and I do not know whether that part will run under Vista.
    Internet Explorer note:  On Windows Vista, IE CANNOT be used to run the Web Forms runtime.  It crashes immediately when you try to run a form.  Instead, I can use either Firefox (Firefox 2, Firefox 3.0 Crashes with Forms 10g) or Netscape, as long as they are set to disable java.  <font color=0000FF>[ Correction:   IE7 on Vista now runs the Forms 10g forms.   You just need to add "?config=jpi" to the browser URL when starting the Web Forms session.   More IE/Vista info: [url=http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=642973]Vista JInitiator Problem ]</font>
    The Oracle Developer Suite download page:
        http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html
    Oracle Developer Suite Installation Guide:
        http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_07//doc/dl/core/B16012_04/toc.htm
    The steps below are those I followed to install Forms 10g (version 10.1.2.0.2)
    I.  Preliminary system changes in Windows
    When I started installing, I got the following error message:    Install has encountered an error while
        attempting to verify your virtual memory settings.
        Please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of
        the paging files is at least 256 MB.To fix this:  Go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance, View amount of RAM and processor speed (under "System"),
    Advanced system settings (in left "Tasks" column), Advanced tab, Settings (under "performance"), Advanced tab:
    Virtual Memory shows a "Total paging file size for all drives: 2337MB.
    Click "change", Uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives"
    Click "custom size:", set Initial size to: 2048, Max to 4096
    Click set button, then OK, get message:The changes you have made require you to restart your computer before
       they can take effect.Restart the computer.
    II.  Installing Forms 10g
    1.  Download two files from Oracle:
        ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1.zip (626,122,752 bytes)
        ds_windows_x86_101202_disk2.zip (236,880,881 bytes)
    2a.  Before extracting, it is a good idea to shut down any virus protection software.  It can sometimes prevent some files from being created.
    2b.  Extract both into the C:\oracle directory, as disk1 and disk2.
    3.  Using Windows Explorer, change the properties of setup.exe in the C:\oracle\disk1 folder.  (In windows explorer, right click, properties, Compatibility tab.)   Change the compatibility to run as Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    4.  Right click setup.exe and click "Run as administrator"
    5.  Select "Installation type" = Complete (1.11 GB)
    6.  Received this message:Windows Firewall has blocked this program from
    accepting incoming network connections.  If you
    unblock this program, it will be unblocked on all
    public networks that you connect to.
    C:\users\steve\appdata\local\temp\orainstall...
      2007-10-29_11-59-08am\jre\1.4.2\bin\javaw.exeI clicked "Unblock"
    7.  Received this message:  "Provide outgoing mail server information"  I entered the smtp mail server that I use.
    8.  A summary screen displayed showing 274 products under New Installations.
    I clicked the Install button.
    9.   Received this message:  You can find a log of this install session at:
    C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory\logs\installActions2007.....log
    10.  The installation completed.  Installed products shows Forms 10.1.2.0.2
    III.  After the install completed
    1.  Create a shortcut to the Forms 10 Builder on the Desktop.
    On the shortcut line, after the .exe, add *userid=userxxx/pwxxx@orcl* so Builder automatically logs into 10g database.  If you do step 4 below (creating an easily-accessible folder to use for your forms) change the "Start in" path on the shortcut so it points to that folder.  Otherwise, Forms Builder will not find referenced objects and PLL libraries when it opens a form.  Also do the same on the Start, All Programs shortcut for the Forms Builder.
    Edit:  After applying Patch 3, the following steps are not necessary.
    Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
    Set checkbox: "Run this program as as an administrator."  (Without this, FormBuilder will NOT open a PLL library.)
    Click the "Show settings for all users" and change values there.
    2.  Copy "Start OC4J Instance" icon to desktop.
    Set its compatibility to Windows XP.
    The first time it runs, I got a Windows popup to unblock program named Java.  I clicked "Unblock".
    3.  tnsnames.ora:
    Rename C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
    to:  tnsnames_orig.ora
    If you created a tnsnames.ora file for Forms 6i, just copy it to the path above.  If not, do this:
    Create a new tnsnames.ora file, copying entries old file on my old laptop, which contains all the connections I use.
    Delete the old laptop entry, replace with new entry for the new local ORCL connection on new laptop from tnsnames file renamed from the c:\oracle\... ...\10.2.0\db_1\ path.
    4.  Optional:  Create an easily accessible folder to store fmb files:
    C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
    You don't really want to keep drilling into C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms, and then find your .fmb file among the several dozen oracle-supplied files.
    To create a folder named .1, you have to open a CMD.exe (Windows DOS) window, and type the Make Directory command:
    MD .1
    That will create the folder within the current directory -- mine defaults to C:\users\steve
    Note:  If you also need to use Forms 6i like me, DO NOT EVER open a .fmb file in the Forms 10 Builder from the Forms 6i folder.  If you compile it, or even worse, save the .fmb, Forms 6i *cannot ever* access the file.  Instead, always use the File Manager (Windows Explorer) to copy the fmb from the fmb6 folder into the fmb10 location.
    5.  Change the Forms 10g Default.env file using a text editor.
    This file replaces all the settings originally written to the Windows Registry (GREAT idea, Oracle!  I hate the registry.)  No more Regedit.  The default.env file is located at: (DevSuiteHome_1 path)\forms\server\default.env
    Locate line with:  FORMS_PATH= and add:
        ;C:\users\steve\.1\fmb10
    Add a new line:
    FORMS_MMAP=FALSE
    The above allows compiling an fmx while the form is running.
    Add a new line:
    FORMS_ROWLOCK_OPTIMIZATION=FALSE
    (This fixes Oracle bug number 3949854, which prevents automatic skipping if the same value is typed over another value. TAR 4806199.993 Automatic Skip failure...)  See bug 4068896
    Add a new Line:
    FORMS_RESTRICT_ENTER_QUERY=False
    This allows use of Query-Where window in enter query, after entering a colon in any input field.  Without this, Forms returns FRM-40367: Invalid criteria in field nnn in example record.  Oracle shut it down to prevent "sql injection" attacks.
    6.  Jiniator setup:
    Run file jinit.exe in C:\oracle\DevSuiteHime_1\jinit\jinit.exe
    It installs Jinitiator 1.3.1.22.
    I installed it in C:\oracle\JInitiator 1.3.1.22\
    For Firefox, make sure a copy of file \bin\NPJinit13122.dll resides in   C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\plugins.
    For Netscape, the path is:  C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\plugins
    7.   Browser settings
    See the note above about using Firefox 2 and not Firefox 3!
    In Firefox 2 go to:  Tools-> Options-> Content
    Uncheck the "Enable Java" checkbox
    --Firefox terminates if this is not done!
    Note:  After my system automatically installed updates to either java or Firefox, re-check the "Enable Java" setting.  I am suspicious that one of these installs re-enables java in the browser.
    Also note:  some web sites cannot display properly if java is disabled.  Example:  U.S. time website: http://www.time.gov   Use Internet Explorer to view these.
    In Netscape make the same changes as Firefox.  Without disabling java, it also terminates when you try to run a form.
    Creating a url to use in the browser:
    Try this:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
    If it does not work, change the 8889 port number as follows:
    Open file:  C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\install\portlist.ini
    Note the number in line:
    Oracle Developer Suite HTTP port = 8889
    Use the number as the port number.
    You can also change the 127.0.0.1 to the computer name:
    Control Panel, System and Maintenance, See the name of this computer (under "System").  Mine is "steve-PC"
    So the alternate URL is:     http://steve-PC:8889/forms/frmservlet
    To try out the URL, start the OC4J instance set up above.  Then start either Netscape or Firefox, and enter the URL.  You should get a welcome screen.
    If the above URL works, start up the Forms Builder, and open Edit, Preferences.  On the General tab, uncheck the "Build before running" check box (optional).  On the Runtime tab, set the "Application Server URL to the url above.
    To run a real form, add this to the URL after frmservlet, (with no spaces):
        ?form={formname}&userid={userxxx}/{passwordyyy}@{connect-string}
    but replace the parts in curly braces with the appropriate values.  Example:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=ABC&userid=abc123/zyx@orcl
    Setting up Forms Builder to directly run a form in the browser:
    Run the Forms Builder.  Go to Edit, Preferences, Runtime tab.
    Set the Application Server URL to:
        http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet
    (or use whatever URL string you developed above)
    Set the Web Browser Location to:
        "C:\Program Files\Netscape\Navigator 9\navigator.exe"
    (or an equivalent to run the Firefox browser).
    8.  FORMSWEB.CFG file changes
    The file is located at:
    C:\ORA_DS_101202\DevSuiteHome_1\forms\server\formsweb.cfg
    I changed the following two lines in the file, but these are my personal preferences:
    separateFrame=true
    lookandfeel=Generic
    9.  FMRWEB.RES file changes
    For Oracle help:  Enabling Key Mappings
    The file fmrweb.res defines actions (triggers that run) when a function key is pressed while running Forms.  The one released has unix-style key mapping, but I prefer keys originally mapped for Windows PC Forms users. There is a fmrpcweb.res in the same folder that can be renamed to fmrweb.res.
    In the C:\oracle\DevSuiteHome_1\forms path, I renamed fmrweb.res to fmrweb_orig.res.
    I have a file that I prefer to use, so I put it into the folder as fmrweb.res. The contents are listed below. It is organized so the most important keys are listed alphabetically at the top (URFD column is the sort column), followed by a group of less-important keys.  These are keys that are available to users, but they either would not use, or are disabled within most forms.  The URFD column in the second set starts with a hex A0 character, which is a high-order space, so collates after normal alphabetic characters.  (Note: If you want to copy the text below and use it, the hex A0 character has been changed by the forum software to a space. So you would need to use a text editor with hexadecimal character capabilities to replace the space with the original character. )
    My file has special keys defined for F2 (I use it for a debugging Key-F2 trigger in my forms), and a "Cursor to Home" F12 function. All the rest are pretty much the same as in the released fmrpcweb.res file, only mine are organized alphabetically on the URFD column.
    The Web Forms fmrweb.res file is editable using any programming editor (NOT MS Word!!!). The old Client/Server key mapping file, fmrusw.res, could only be changed using the Oracle Terminal program (and it is a pain to use).
    Here is the main part of my fmrweb.res file:#

    I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
    Two points, Steve:
    1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
    2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
    Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
    Regards

  • IPod model A1059, freezes, unresponsive to all click wheel entries.  Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or on windows explorer.  What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

  • IPod connectivity to Windows Vista

    Even after reinstalling the iTunes/iPod software on Vista, the iPod never gets recognized by the iPod service/iTunes. Vista keeps reporting that it cannot recognize the USB device.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    1) Check and see if it will sync under XP compatibility mode (right click the program, not the shortcut> click properties, there will be a compatibility tab). A popup may nag you about changing the compatibility, just ignore it for the time being.
    2) Check your USB hardware drivers to have them up to date. Vista is one of the weirdest OS's I've been around lately that uses older (read: not native or "updated") drivers and messes up on them...
    3) The iPod service might be misbehaving. You can restart it by going to start> right click my computer>
    manage> services and applications> services> click iPod service> click restart service.
    4) NT OS's (including Vista) tend to be "closed oriented" on bidirectional hardware access, so make sure you can connect to other devices as well.
    So much for the rumored iTunes update with the "colored" shuffles... I guess that's for later...
